I just got a galaxy watch 3 while it was on sale two days ago. But because I live in China when I try to download apps there's only the chinese store which has very limited amout of app and I can't even download Spotify and Facer. I thought changing the region by flashing will do the trick but after I changed region to US it still shows me the chinese galaxy store. I used to own a wear os watch and the only thing I have to do is to choose any region other than China and it shows me the proper store with all of the apps but it doesn't seems like to be Samsung's case, any idea how to change the store region?

Hi,
is it possible to get such apps (region restricted) as it is in iOS and Android?
You would have to change your Microsoft Account to one of that region. That will most likely lead to problems with payment from your Credit Card as it won't be accepted in other regions. Also it would mean hard resetting your phone to change the account and therefore you would have only access to the other regions Apps but not to those exclusive to your home market.
Payment is not a problem as I wanted to download free apps anyway - but if I do what you suggest I will loose other apps I got on right now that are not available elsewhere.
Not to mention e-mails, calendars, contacts, etc...
This really SUCKS!
Depends...
I wanted to download HERE Drive Beta while it wasn't available to my region, and I have changed my region in phone to USA, downloaded the app, and then reverted back to Serbia. No hard reset, no new account, no nothing.
U might try this, if it is some app that is tied to another market.
It did worked - thanks!
Looks like with free apps it is not a big issue
Thanks
I couldnt find good free NFC application in my region (Turkey). Maybe I will try to change region and search it. Thanks for this idea.:good:
Try to change Country and speek settings in the phone. So I have downloaded the DevCenter App from US Marketplace what was not available in Germany!
Hello.
I'm from Belgium but I bought a gear vr innovator edition on eBay from UK because it wasn't sold in my country.
I put it in and the initialization went fine, and the oculus app starts when I put the phone in and the gear on my head.
The issue I have though, is that I can't install & update apps from oculus home, either in vr or not. The apps download then fail to install.
I've reached to oculus support but they told me an update with carrier specific files were needed. But it won't happen from my carrier since the device is not sold in Belgium!
Does any of you know which files they are talking about, and if it would be possible to copy them from another device?
I managed to install apps with a workaround (renaming the temp file during download to avoid it being deleted when install fails) but I would like to be able to use the oculus store like it should!
Thanks

This seems like a useful app indeed, but I don't think it will solve the problem I have with the oculus store app not installing apps.
And for some reason the app you linked to doesn't want to start on my note 4!
But thanks anyway!
OK I found the solution if anyone happens to have the same issue: apparently the stock rom with the "LUX" CSC misses some Gear VR specific files because the Gear VR for Note 4 was not commercialised in Luxembourg or Belgium. I installed the "XEF" CSC rom (France - unlocked) downloaded from sammobile and now it works.
Tried to install Google Pay but the Play Store says the phone isn't compatible.
Note 8, Oreo N950F purchased form Australia and as far as I know the phone is as stock as they come (never rooted, bootloader is locked).
I tried clearing the Play Store and Play services data but no change.
Can't use Samsung Pay in Phillipines so it's no good.
Any thoughts as to why it's not letting me install?
Not really sure what to suggest, a quick look on Google does not help either.
Try downloading Google pay from APKmirror and see if it works that way.
Try contacting Google and ask them. As they are the ones who made the app in the first place.
try downloading it from apkmirror or maybe flashing the XTC firmware
I think the problem is that neither Google Pay or Samsung Pay is supported in the Phillipines.
Google pay only works in these countries:

Hello,
just got it... Chinese version of course with lot of Chinese apps but I am unable to find the Google Play in the Xioami Store and my unit is with 12.0.10.0.
I added it to my top Mate40Pro and Samsung S21 Ultra.
Question are:
-) how to get the latest Xioami release (also be enrolled to the beta)
-) how to install the Google Play services.
Cheers,
download google play apk from the internet and sideload it. then you are good to go. i would recommend you download icebox and just freeze the unwanted apps.
Also, ask for unlock, wait for 7 days and flash global rom, you are all set then.
Congratulations,
I quick one, I believe the CN version comes without a charger, but seems like the international comes with a charger out of the box. Is that correct to your knowledge?

Google Play you can find here:
Type google in searchbox:
Hey, its been a few weeks since I got my Honor magic 3 Pro, imported from China.
For information I'm currently using it with my account in India region.
First things I've noticed is
I'm unable to access themes app on this phone, it says not available in your region, along with online music and other services.
Even on changing service region to other places like UK or Americas, I'm unable to access it, it just shows the preset themes.
Only China region works, but without an Chinese ID, I can't buy anything.
I can't even customized the themes.
However, the same Huawei account on a Huawei P30 Pro, can access everything in all regions, but themes, access online music etc.
So I would like help regarding this.
Secondly I've installed Google services (using youtube video by John Wang, followed for Huawei mate 40 pro) , but my Google play store doesn't detect my pre-installed apps, so I can't get any updates.
Also having old version of play store/ services means no Google payments and some apps don't work
Thirdly, blocking play protect notification via video methods, also block out notification from other apps, so any way around that?
I've found a workaround, for themes, I can change my region to China, download nd apply free themes, and then chance account region back.
However you can't buy anything unfortunately.
